Ex-Castle Rushen head says proposals don't look forward
A former headteacher at one of the Island's secondary schools believes the proposed new Education Bill is too backward looking.
Andrew Cole, who retired from his role at Castle Rushen High School in 2014, says the draft legislation is too focused on fixing what is wrong, rather than looking forward to how education should be in Manx schools.
The bill is currently the subject of a seven-week public consultation, which runs until next Wednesday.
Speaking on Mandate this morning, Mr Cole questioned how the curriculum would change under the plans:
No public board meeting for Manx Care due to General Election
Chauffeur needed to provide 'professional and discreet service' for VIPs
Fire officer praises 'quick-thinking' staff after blaze at fire station
Chief Minister: 'AG not out to silence debate'
